Hope this helps - if not, disregard. The KMA26 audio panel in the grob 115 is mostly functional. That has a rotary switch which allows you to select the com radio to transmit on, including an emergency setting which bypasses the audio panel and connects the mic direct to com1, then a number of pushbuttons which illuminate to indicate the selected audio sources (the tx radio is auto selected, and the other radios can be toggled on/off by pressing the button). If you need more info you can download the manual from the bendix/king website.

We could add a selected property to every radio, that should be generic across aircrafts to take over the function of /instrumentation/kma26/com1sel and friends. We'd also need a replacement for the primary-radio property, I guess that should simply be /instrumentation/primary-radio. -- Csaba/Jester - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
[Flightgear-devel] Multiplayer Chat Frequencies?
Is it possible in Flightgear to chat on mutliplayer though frequencies? Gijs and Natovr found this line in preferences.xml under the mutliplay section: transmission-freq-hz type=string11850/transmission-freq-hz but they changed the line and they still could see others messages. Is this suppost to work or is it something there for a futute feature or what?

Is this suppost to work or is it something there for a futute feature or what? It doesn't check for frequency match AFAICT, but seems to be pretty easy to add to multiplayer.nas. Might be advisable to change default comm frequency to some magic number meaning all frequencies. Not realistic, I know. So maybe GUARD? And display a simulated ATC warning about that, directing pilots to switch to a proper frequency. -- Csaba/Jester - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

When I originally wrote the MP chat, I had quite a lot of difficulty doing the frequency matching between the sender and receiver, possibly because I was doing a float comparison, or because the property is transfered as a float, or because the radio frequency was a float. I'm sure it would be pretty easy to sort out, but I never returned to it. If anyone wants to take a look, they are more than welcome. -Stuart - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Here is a first whack at the problem. Listens on all comm radios,
transmits on first one. Incoming messages without frequency or zero
frequency will always be received. Note, fg has comm1 set to 118.5MHz
by default.
I have the following additional ideas:
* separate property to disable frequency matching (receive-all, this
is done by selecting 0 freq in the patch)
* property to select active radio for transmission (maybe be per-radio flag?)
* startup warning message telling pilot to tune to an appropriate frequency
* comm1 automatically tuned to nearest tower, comm2 to guard on startup
* separate receive and transmit serviceable flags
Comments welcome.
